I could take the route of just ignoring everything, but I won't. Does that make me unhappy? Yeah, probably.
But I'm out here looking for happiness because I feel like I can actually achieve it, so it wouldn't be so bad, I guess.
If I asked you, like, "Hey, do you want the chance to run at 40 miles per hour?" would you take it? Probably not, right? Because you know there's a risk involved. And that's the thing—what do you want? Less risk? That's how I feel too, but how do you actually get there?
Less risk and being happy?
It's not just that I do everything by myself. It's not even the loneliness or the feeling of being deserted. It's the fact that I have to go through everything entirely on my own. That's what loneliness and abandonment really mean to me.
And even if you offered to be my companion in theory, I'd probably turn you down one way or another. Because the only way I really understand is being alone.
Then just learn how to swim, man! Just go out there and practice! What’s holding you back? Or just learn how to stay afloat!!
So basically, "I have to face everything alone" just means you're totally on your own and lonely.
And if you aren't willing to let anyone in, doesn't that mean you're perfectly fine being solo???
Aha
The brain is basically just a massive collection of tiny little modules that aren't smart on their own—you couldn't say any single one of them can actually "think." But once you get all those modules
wired together, some kind of intelligence starts to emerge from the network...
You're my hero
Man, there is just so much negativity packed into every single sentence here
Honestly, stop letting other people drain your energy
Why even stress about someone else being able to swim when you can't? Or why worry if they got a new iPhone while you had to save up and buy yours yourself? It’s all just noise... life is weird like that
Look, I don't know how to fly a plane, and I'm definitely not planning on being an astronaut...
Being a pilot was never my dream, and traveling to space wasn't exactly on my bucket list either—just some crazy thing I never cared for... some people think it's cool to buy a one-way ticket, but if you ask me, those folks aren't playing with a full deck. Like, why would I head to Mars just to die there?😁 What's the reason? Honestly, I have no clue. I'll give it some thought once I get back... oh wait, I'm never coming back
I don't envy them one bit!
When I wanted a new phone, I bought it myself. And if I ever decide to smash it against a wall, well, I did it—done and dusted. But that kid over there? He can't even throw his phone because his dad won't buy him a replacement...
Could you maybe clarify those "verses" of yours? I'm trying to figure out what the poet is actually getting at
To me, you just sound lonely, abandoned, or maybe just left to your own devices, and frankly, it sounds exhausting. Am I wrong?
